Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Wrapping Up Newspapers and the like in Covers.
IPC: B65B25/14
Filed: 1916-06-20
Abstract: 107,238. Kindborg, A., and Aktiebo laget F. Wagner. June 20, 1916. Addressing - machines; inking- apparatus; impression surfaces.- Relates to machines for wrapping- up newspapers &c., of the kind in which the length of wrapping. paper is automatically regulated in accordance with the thickness of the bundle of newspapers &c. fed into the machine. The machine. described regulates automatically the length of wrapping-paper, cuts it off, prints an address, applies paste, and rolls up the bundle of newspapers &c. in the cut-off wrapper. The bundle of newspapers &c. to be wrapped is placed on the table under a roller 32 mounted on levers 33 carrying, at their rear ends, a roller 35 engaging a cam 36 on the driven shaft 37. At the proper moment this cam permits the roller 32 to drop on to the bundle, the thickness of which defines the amount of the drop While the cut-off wrapper 51 is being carried between the belts 11, 12 an address is printed on it by the ratchet-operated mechanism 69, 71. the prismatic part 69 is moved forwards twice for each movement of the printing-chain 70 and its adjacent faces are respectively smooth and covered with felting soaked with colour. The part 81 is pressed against the roller 18 to bring the wrapper to rest during the printing of the address, the roller mechanism 82, 87, 83 being arranged to permit the other parts of the belts 11, 12 simultaneously to continue their forward movement. An indicator 104, having addresses printed in the same order as on the printing-chain apd connected to the mechanism 71, shows which address is about to be printed. The handle 108 permits an address to be moved past the printing position, and the handle 113 permits disconnexion of the ratchet mechanism and so allows<6> the same address to be printed a number of times in succession.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vehicle bodies
IPC: B61D17/04
Filed: 1946-03-21
Abstract: 641,784. Vehicle bodies. BUDD CO. March 21, 1946, No. 8765. Convention date, March 31, 1945. [Classes 103(ii), 103(iv) and 108(i)] In a vehicle body a preassembled side wall S, Fig. 4, and a preassembled roof R each have a marginal channel 7, 24 which abut one another, the roof or wall having an overlapping longitudinal panel 9 by which the two parts are secured together. An internal longitudinal panel 68 is attached to the inside flanges of the abutting channels and a luggage panel 82 supported on brackets 80 provides additional strength to the joint. The panel 68 terminates about the location 69, Fig. 9, spaced from the door end of the vehicle and is carried forward by three plates 71, 70, 72 and an angle sectioned strip 73, Fig. 9 and Fig. 7, (not shown), of which 72 terminates at the door opening and 70, 73 are of reduced depth over the door opening, a downward end extension 77 of the plate 70 forming a lug for securing the inner top end of the end door post P, whilst a similar lug cut out from the outer panel 9 forms means for securing the other side of the post. The ends of the roof are stiffened by a transverse roof plate 10, Fig. 9, extending across the roof carlines and side plates 11, the longitudinal angle 73, transverse beam 63, and channel above the vestibule partition 78 forming supports for longitudinal shear panels as described in Specifications 641,782 and 641,783. The side wall comprises vertical posts 21 between the window openings and a series of vertical end posts 22 acting as shear panels tied together by longitudinal chord members as described in Specification 641,782, the' overlapping longitudinal roof panel 9 overlapping the sides down to the longitudinal chord member 35 located above the window openings, the chord being stiffened by inner and outer longitudinal members 42, 15. Corrugated roof plates 17 extend over the panel 9 and the carlines 1 may be braced by transverse bars 17<SP>1</SP> which carry the ceiling. Specifications 606,945, 606.946 and 641,861 also are referred to.

Title: Improvements in hydraulic thrust bearing wear indicator and safety device
IPC: F16C17/24
Filed: 1957-03-18
Abstract: 864,864. Fluid-pressure servomotor control systems. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. March 18,1957 [April 13, 1956], No. 8792/57. Class 135. [Also in Group XXVI] A device for shutting down a rotating machine, e.g. a turbo-machine, in the event of a predetermined axial movement of the rotor due, e.g., to excessive wear of a thrust bearing comprises a follower piston 4 which moves to maintain a constant gap 7 between a nozzle 4c and a surface 1b of a collar la on the rotor, a valve member 16 operable by the piston, and pressureresponsive means 42, 43 for shutting down the machine under the control of the valve member 16. Oil under pressure is supplied to the lefthand face of the piston 4 and passes through a restriction 6 to a chamber 3b at the right-hand side of the piston where it acts on a larger area of the latter, any variation of the gap 7 due to axial movement of the rotor 1 in either direction causing a change of pressure in the chamber 3b with consequent movement of the piston 4 to regain a state of equilibrium. The piston, which is prevented from turning by a pin 10, is loaded by a spring 9 to prevent metallic contact between the nozzle 4c and the rotor in the absence of oil pressure. The valve member 16 has a pair of lands 16a, 16b controlling ports 20, 21 connecting with the bellows 42, 43 and so spaced that each bellows is connected to a pressure fluid supply port 19 when the valve member is centrally situated, a degree of movement of the valve member in either direction, corresponding to the permitted axial movement of the rotor, taking place before the pressure fluid connection to one of the bellows is interrupted and the bellows connected to exhaust. Each bellows operates an electric switch for energizing an alarm 65 and a solenoid 66 by which the machine is shut down. To measure thrust bearing wear whilst the machine is running a shaft 80 carrying a handle 81 is moved axially downwardly to operate a switch 59 which prevents the bellows operated switches from controlling the solenoid 66, causing them instead to control test lamps 72, 73. The axial movement of the shaft 80 releases the handle 81 from a locking recess 84 so that the handle may be rotated in either direction to cause axial movement of a sleeve 17 surrounding the valve member 16. One of the lamps 72, 73 is extinguished when the corresponding bellows is exhausted due to the relative movement between the sleeve 17 and valve member 16, and by the use of a calibrated scale over which the handle 81 moves the bearing wear can be determined. In a modification, the shutting down mechanism for the machine is operated by pressure fluid under the control of piston valves which are actuated by pistons in place of the bellows 42, 43. The functions of the test lamps are, in this case, performed by pressure gauges.

Abstract: 403,846. Fuel-injection pumps. SOC. D'ETUDES ET D'EXPLOITATION DU GENERATEUR A PISTON LIBRE, 33, Rue Liogier, St. Etienne, Loire, France. March 27, 1933, No. 9162. Convention date, March 30, 1932. [Class 102 (i).] A fuel-injection pump is operated by the expansion of liquid under highpressure. The pump plunger 15, Fig. 1, discharging through an injecter 4 is formed integral with an operating piston 17. The injection stroke is effected by the instantaneous expansion of liquid in a chamber 6, which is admitted to the right-hand face of the piston 17 by a mechanically-operated valve 8. The suction stroke is effected against the action of a spring 19 by the pressure in the chamber 6 constantly acting on an annular surface 16, the righthand surface of the piston 17 being opened to exhaust by a mechanically-operated valve 11. The left-hand surface of the piston 17 is open to atmosphere through a passage 12. In a modification the spring 19 is replaced by compressed liquid acting on the rod of the piston 17, make-up liquid being supplied through a return passage by an extension of the piston 17 acting as a pump plunger. In a further modification, Figs. 5-7, the injection stroke is effected by compressed liquid in a chamber 53 acting on the right-hand end 47 of a piston 64, the left-hand end 46 being alternately connected to a high-pressure supply passage 62<1> and to an exhaust passage 55<1> by a mechanically-operated valve 51. Make up liquid is supplied to the chamber 53 by a valve 37, which at low-pressure is moved by a spring 41 to connect the chamber 47 to the highpressure supply 62<1> by means of a passage 36 and grooves 42 in the valve. Excess pressure moves the valve against the action of the spring 41 to open passages 43 to atmosphere.
